Filipino-Canadian rapper, singer, and songwriter Chris Franco was born and raised in Burnaby, BC, but it wasn't until he moved to Surrey, BC when music really took over his life as he started recording remixes at the age of 15. From then it was something he did for fun, until he turned 20 and he put out his first official mixtape on streaming platforms, pivoting with an R&B showcase called "ilyfrankie!" which then saw the biggest increase of numbers he had ever seen up until that point. In a stretch that started from 2020 to 2022, he mainly focused on R&B as his primary genre, releasing the follow up mixtape "ily2frankie!" in 2021. He still showcased his rap prowess in standalone singles and features, but he was known for his infectious R&B tracks, being dubbed "The Prince of Hearts." After 2022, Chris hit a quiet point in his career, noting that music has become a grind as opposed to something he did for his own enjoyment. Two years have passed since then, and he has only released one single [not mine (jane's letter)] in the fall of 2023. Despite that, he's found a new direction to go with. With the help of a new team around him, some familiar faces still in his corner like his brother, artist and producer Renzo, as well as the continued support of his most loyal listeners, the return of Chris Franco is bound to happen in 2024.
